Chapter 165: Unfortunate Ashford(1/2)
ww.x.om Once we are sure to advance quickly, the harps behind will become completely decorative. As Ashufud said before, these harps are of very low level, and even the most basic magic missiles used by Clis Dena are a bit wasteful when they are used on them. Later, Clis Dena simply used his special spell casting skills to turn the primary magic missile into a magic shotgun. This technique can fire a dozen smaller magic bombs when releasing a single magic missile. Although the total amount of spell casting will increase slightly, and the power of the small magic bombs is not as powerful as a single magic bomb, this method can fire more than ten small missiles at a time, and the power of these small missiles is only slightly lower than that of a primary magic missile.
Kris Dena's magic missile itself is an advanced spell. Unlike the magic missiles launched by most magicians, Kris Dena's magic missiles are not launched one by one, but are launched in pieces, and this kind of launch method is not intermittent. Basically, as long as Kris Dena decides to launch a magic missile, then unless she is attacked by the enemy, the magic is interrupted, or she actively ends the output, or her magic power is exhausted, this magic missile will not stop.
Originally, under the launching technique of this magic missile called rainbow jet, Klis Dena's attack was already terrifying enough. Now, each magic missile fired separately would quickly explode into more than a dozen small missiles after launch. The result was that in a short while, Klis Dena turned into hundreds of close-defense cannons gathered together, and it was not bullets but magic missiles. Although these weakened versions of magic missiles were not very powerful, they were at least the upper half of the grenades. Now she sprayed out hundreds of magic missiles in one second like a metal storm, and even a group of missiles on the opposite side were all shot, let alone the harp?
"I knew that bringing Kris Dena here was the right choice." Looking at the group of harpies falling like raining outside the cliff, Ashufude felt very happy. They had been to this position once or twice before, but they were always covered in dust by many harpies. Although the harpies are not very powerful in single combat, under such special terrain, most players cannot exert all their combat power. More importantly, the harpies will not tell you any rules. If they line up to fight players one by one, it would definitely be useless to come to billions. But they rushed up completely without following the rules. The players were like a martial arts master who met a large group of hooligans, and one person was crushed by a group of people. No matter how good the skills were, they could not be used.
Because the Rainbow Magic Bull is a primary skill after all, Kris Dena still has the leisure to turn back and talk to us while maintaining the Magic Bull.
"Ashufude, why are there so many harps in this place? Have you seen where their nests before?"
"If we could see the nest, we would have knocked down that thing. Unfortunately, we haven't seen it before."
I turned around and asked Ashufude: "Have you done your previous mission later?"
Ashufude shook his head and said, "The smoothest time we completed our mission before was to reach a little bit below this level, and then all of them died."
"So how far will it take to go this level?"
"It's not too far. Keep going two hundred meters ahead, and then turn a corner and you can see a cave. After you get in, you don't have to worry about the harpies. They dare not go in."
"What's the next level?"
"I don't know." Ashufude answered very simply.
"Didn't you play the next level before?" asked Kris Dena.
I also looked at Ashufude in confusion for his explanation. Ashufude said in a more depressed manner: "After this place passes, we enter the cave, and then we will enter a relatively open underground world. But at that time, only Tank and I were left. As a result, in a trance, it seemed that a black shadow flashed, and then I hanged up. The tank held on for a while more than me, but it only took a few minutes, and he didn't see clearly what was attacking him in the end. He only knew that the thing was very large and very fast."
"A high-speed giant creature? That's really a strange creature."
Because the people on our side are all very high, and Kris Dena completely isolated the interference of the harpies outside. So we moved very quickly on the mountain. Before we finished talking, we heard Ashufud shouting: "Look, the gate has arrived. After passing the harpies, the territory of the harpies will be out."
"Everyone speed up, hurry up and go." After seeing the cave, I didn't hesitate and directly led everyone to climb over quickly.
This narrow mountain path attached to the cliff is definitely a death passage for ordinary people, but we are all monster-level, so we easily walked the whole journey. The entrance to the cave opposite was not very big. Finally, Ashufud and I slapped in first, and then Kris Dena slapped his hands in front of us, and a buzzing sound, and a light blue aperture burst out from the middle of her palm. It took only a second to spread, instantly shooting down all the harpies within 200 meters. Before the subsequent harpies could fill the gap, Ye Yue hugged Kris Dena directly into the hole. Mira finally transformed into a human form and followed him in. After chasing the entrance of the cave, the harpies only hovered outside, but they didn't dare to come in. It can be seen that you, the monster that ended Ashufud and others, might not even let go of the harpies.
Without the pursuers behind, we can naturally slow down and step into the cave carefully. The cave here has only a short passage, and then suddenly enters an extremely vast underground world. Of course, this underground world is not the kind of underground world described in "Travels in the Center of the Earth" where a large number of creatures gather, and looks like a paradise. This place is a very normal underground cave. If you want to say something special, it may be a little bigger. Hey... maybe it is not just a little bigger.
Just as we stepped into this place, before I could even take a look at the surrounding situation, I suddenly felt the strong wind rushing in front of me. My reaction was not fast, and I lifted up eternity at the moment when I felt the airflow change, and the blade rushed out and blocked quickly.
Ding. With a sound of metallic attack, you can clearly see the sparks of metal impact flashing in the darkness. I almost instinctively waved a sword light with my backhand while blocking the attack. Then, an unpleasant scream came from three meters away. It must have been a hit.
"What was it just now?" Although Ashufude did not have dark vision like me, he knew that this place was under the ground and darkness must be normal, so he brought a lot of special potions, which were specifically used for this situation. Thanks to these special potions, he and Kris Dena also temporarily had dark vision, but their vision was not as good as mine. Although he saw me successfully blocking the attack, he did not see clearly what exactly attacked us.
I shook my head and said that I didn't see the other person clearly, and then turned my eyes to Yeyue. Yeyue did not look at me, but looked around. Although Yeyue usually has her eyes closed and she has a special crystal goggles in front of her eyes, her vision is actually very good. And Yeyue has the infrared imaging ability like a rattlesnake, that is to say, for creatures with body temperature, it is useless even if you hide behind the wall. Infrared radiation will expose your position, and the wall cannot completely block the scattering of infrared rays.
After looking around for a few times, Ye Yue suddenly pointed to a stalactite not far above our heads, and his consciousness was obvious to tell me that the other party was behind that thing.
After I got the prompt, I turned around and winked at Mira. Mira quickly transformed into a dragon form. The passage before was too narrow and she couldn't get through. The cave here was very spacious, enough for her to display it.
The transformation itself did not make any sound, so the target on the other side did not respond. And the guy hid behind the stalactite and thought we could not see him.
Mira, who had completed the transformation, stretched her limbs and then slowly opened her mouth. We could see that her mouth began to turn red, and red light particles began to appear in the surrounding space. This process took less than two seconds, and only a faint sound of electric current was made during this process. However, two seconds later, the red light suddenly turned into a ray and shot out directly. It instantly penetrated the stalactite. The creature hiding behind did not expect to be attacked suddenly, and the power of the destruction ray was too great. Instantly, it pierced a big hole with him and the stalactite. The guy only had time to let out a scream and planted the top of the cave with half a piece of stalactite from the top of the cave several dozen meters high.
"Come and take a look." Ashufude shouted as he ran.
Yeyue's big tail wrapped around Ashufude and stopped him from going over, and I also said, "This one is not the one that attacked us just now. That one is bigger than this one."
"And?" Ashufude immediately became cautious when he heard me say there were other monsters nearby.
Ye Yue continued to turn her head and looked for a while, then suddenly resisted a direction, and then informed me with his spiritual contact: "Behind that big stone."
Although infrared rays can penetrate the walls, there are limitations. The ground here is not as flat as those open-air caves, with large and small gravels everywhere. Yeyue pointed to a huge rock weighing hundreds of tons, which looked similar to a small house. The guy just now hid behind this, so he avoided Yeyue's spying.
After discovering the target, I used my spiritual contact to ask if Mira could penetrate such a large stone. After all, the size of this stone is indeed a bit too large.
Mira was quite uncertain about such a big goal, and she only answered me that she tried to try it, but the creatures opposite were obviously of a very high IQ. Mira had a brief energy gathering before emitting the rays, and a faint sound was made at that time. As a result, Mira had just started to gather energy and the thing opposite immediately jumped out from behind the stone.
When the target was moved, Mira no longer gathered energy. Before, the energy gathered energy was to ensure a kill of one blow, so she gathered energy. In fact, Mira's destruction ray was launched very fast, and there was almost no interval. Now that the target was moved, Mira immediately gave up the energy gathered energy and started attacking directly. We saw a bright red line shot out in the darkness in an instant, and then followed the movement trajectory of the black shadow and swept across horizontally. The stalagmites that were blocked by the guy along the way were like tofu blocks slipped by a sharp paper cutter knife, and the movement speed of the creature was finally not faster than Mira's turn heads.
Because the distance is very far. As long as Mira turns a little at an angle, the ray will actually move a large distance. Therefore, although the creature on the opposite side moves fast, it still has not exceeded the beam. Unfortunately, when it hits it, the beam is almost over, and it is extinguished just by rubbing one of its legs.
Before the beam ended, Yeyue and I were already rushing forward. As soon as the beam was extinguished, a magic bullet passed between Yeyue and me first, and then suddenly exploded above the monster's head. However, this magic missile did not produce much power, but instead sprayed out a large amount of orange-red liquid. The liquid covered a large area nearby like rain. Although the monster below reacted very quickly, it could not avoid such a large-scale attack, and was poured through. When it jumped out from behind the rock, it had turned into a huge red glowing body.
The magic bullet that Kris Dena fired was simply a disguise. This thing is actually a kind of tracking magic. You can spray fluorescent agent in the target area. As long as the other party is touched, it will keep glowing unless it digs the piece of meat or waits until the fluorescent agent has passed.
If it is on the ground, this fluorescent agent may not be of much use. But this is the underground world, and it is pitch black around it. The fluorescent agent in the object is as bright as a light bulb. Now it can't hide because even if it hides behind an obstacle, it will illuminate all the nearby features. Such obvious features cannot be hidden at all.
The monster who was sprayed with fluorescent agent was now completely obvious, but the physical characteristics of this thing made us a little confused, because this thing looks like a human. Although the face is not visible, this guy's figure is human characteristics, and there are no parts such as tails that humans do not have. Moreover, the proportion of limbs is normal. In addition to a little hunchback and four-legged walking, the only difference between this guy and ordinary humans is just a little thin. Even its weight is just a slight thinner. Compared with those African refugees, this guy is actually quite strong.
The creature was obviously visionary. After jumping out of the hiding place, it even looked at our hands, then looked back at us and immediately ran forward with hands and feet. Obviously, this thing didn't like head-on combat. After being discovered, it was to escape.
Seeing that the guy actually wanted to run, I stepped onto a rock protruding from the ground, and then jumped out his wings and flew up. The guy's speed was mainly agility, which means he was very fast. But the straight-line speed was not very exaggerated. Although it was much faster than Ashufude and others, it was still far inferior to my wings.
I just flapped my wings twice and chased the guy behind. Then I snatched my wings and slammed my whole body directly from the air, hugging the guy's neck. Suddenly there were many people on my back, and the guy could no longer maintain his balance. He made a mistake in his hands and failed to grab the rock in front of me, so he fell to the ground and rolled forward with me on his back.
Because our speed direction is the same and the speed is very fast, the inertia is quite large. We rolled out five or six meters along the ground and hit a stalagmites that stretched out from the ground before we stopped.
Compared to my armor, the guy was obviously naked, but he fell heavily. The guy supported himself and got up, but he was shaking like drunk. Before he could completely stand, I directly hit his knees on his face. The guy leaned back and stood up. However, before he could react, I immediately kicked him sideways and sent him five or six meters away. This time the guy was completely quiet, lying among the rocks and no movement.
I jumped on a stone that was standing in front of me and planned to check the guy's condition. Unexpectedly, I suddenly heard Ye Yue shouting: "Master, be careful."
When I heard the shouts, I immediately turned sideways, and a figure flew over in front of me. Ye Yue reminded me just now and then I was rushed. However, even if I dodged an attack, there were more behind me. As soon as I turned my head, I saw a large group of gray figures moving towards me in the darkness nearby.
They probably thought I couldn't see it in the dark, so they were very slow, so they tried not to make any sounds to attack. However, because of their slow speed, I saw clearly the appearance of these creatures. I have to say that these guys are really similar to humans, and I even suspected that this is humans. Their body structure is almost no different from that of humans. Moreover, there are men and women, and the physical characteristics are obvious. Their faces are slightly different from humans, but the difference is not big. Their noses are slightly smaller than those of humans, and they collapse inwardly, feeling a bit like some species of demons. Their cheekbones are a little high, but it may be because their faces are thinner, so they look high in cheekbones. And their eyes are the only thing that is particularly obvious from humans. Their eyes are at least twice as big as humans. Such a large eyes may have evolved to adapt to the underground light environment.
Apart from these small characteristics, these guys are almost no different from humans. The thin body cannot be regarded as a racial difference. After all, there are many people among humans who are thinner than these guys. In addition, these guys seem to have more or less hunchbacks, which may be related to their position of limbs on the ground. Also, the nails of these guys are slightly different from those of humans, because their nails are not as flat as humans and have no lethality, but are similar to the claws of animals, which are very sharp. As for the teeth of these guys, it is difficult to judge because they have not seen them.
These humanoid creatures, like evil ghosts, were approaching me quietly while moving their positions and ready to start at any time, while I shouted to the back: "Chris Dena. The strong light bullet, the others closed their eyes."
Kris Dena's reaction was very fast. The echo of my shouting here had already flew out before the strong light bomb had disappeared. This magic is basically considered a zero-level magic, without any lethality, but like a flash bomb, it can blind it for a short time. The specific time depends on the level of the caster and who are attacked.
There is no need to say about Kris Dena's level, and the eyes of these creatures in front of her are so big that they have a super ability to receive light. The brightness of the strong light bomb cannot even stand us, let alone them. Almost at the moment when the strong light bomb appeared, a scream rang around, and all of those things were indeed hit.
At the moment when this strong light bomb explodes, people who are close to them will even feel a burning sensation in their skin. How can such fragile eyes withstand such damage? If you face the location of the strong light bomb exploded, within a thousand meters, even if you close your eyes, you will still have a brief blindness, unless you cover your eyes with your hands. You can't block this strong light by relying on your eyelids alone. Level 0 magic is also magic, and this thing is originally designed to hurt people.
The burst of the strong light bomb was five seconds. I closed my eyes and turned my back to Kris Dena. The moment the burst out of the strong light bomb, I saw the light in front of my eyes light up. But because it was facing the light source, and my helmet and goggles had automatic anti-glare function, it would not affect my vision at all. Feeling the light in front of me suddenly extinguished, I immediately opened my eyes and jumped up. I had already seen the surrounding situation in the air, and I threw Eternal Eternity out, decomposed into twelve double-headed swords in the air, and then rotated at high speed and turned into twelve rotating sword wheels swept towards monsters in all directions.
The monsters that were flashed into their eyes could not see anything at all. Without any precaution, a large area was instantly killed. The remaining ones who were not dead were unable to recover their vision in a short period of time. They could only stumble and run away to the distance, as if they were planning to evacuate.
I didn't plan to let go of these escaped people, but I didn't do it myself, but gave them all to Kris Dena. Her ranged skills were just right for this.
Ashufude held a magic wand to look at the corpse all over the ground and sighed: "Sure enough, this kind of place is the most suitable for you. Last time we didn't even know what we attacked, we were killed all of them. You actually killed all of them like cutting melons and vegetables. It's really awesome to people!"
"Now is not the time to sigh at this. How do we go now?" Because there is no need to chase the escaped monster, I asked Ashufude's next route.
Ashufude pointed to the direction of the monster's escape and said, "What the mission scroll says is to go down from here, and then there should be an underground river. From there, we can walk to the next level, but I have never been there since here and I don't know what the situation is."
"No matter how difficult it is, it shouldn't be more troublesome than that spider's nest." Kris Dena, who had cleaned up the monster, walked over and looked at us and asked, "Now let's keep moving forward?"
I nodded and asked everyone to move forward, but this time I didn't walk on the ground. Kris Dena and I flew directly into the air. Yeyue and Ashufude were held in their hands by Mira, and then flew forward.
This cave is relatively wide and the ground is not flat. If we walk over, it will take at least a few hours. Anyway, there are no monsters here now, so it is better to fly over and come faster.
It took only ten minutes to fly to the opposite side of the cave. After landing again, we drilled into a small hole on the ground. Mira had to turn back into a human form because the entrance of the cave was too small, and with the size of the dragon, we could not drill into it no matter what.
The hole on the ground is inclined downward. The slope is very large, but fortunately there are steps and not long. After walking less than ten meters, I heard a roar in front of me, and the surrounding temperature gradually increased. After continuing to move forward for a while, the road became horizontal and much wider. We trotted all the way to the end, and then we were directly shocked by the scene in front of us.
At the end of the passage here is a huge vertical well. I don’t know how high it is above, because there is no top, but the bottom is not far from us. Just below the entrance of the cave where we are. Less than fifty meters, a piece of red lava fills the bottom of the entire vertical well. It’s unclear how deep it is below. However, a simple vertical well filled with lava at the bottom is not amazing. What’s amazing is that opposite us, there is a hole slightly higher than our entrance. At this moment, a rushing water flow pours down to form a huge waterfall and directly falls into the lava below.
The water flows into the lava, and the result can be imagined, so there are constant explosions in the lava below us, and the fog in the entire cave evaporates. Although it does not affect the sight much, it is also considered a cloud of fog.
"This place is really spectacular!" Kris Dena said after stretching her head and looking at the lava lake below her.
I looked at the waterfall opposite, and then asked Ashufude: "Isn't that the river you mentioned?"
Asu Fude also said with a look of surprise: "I didn't expect it to be like this river! It's the first time I've been to this place!"
"There is no other way. Since the task is arranged like this, we can only go through it." I looked at the situation below and turned to Mira and said, "Please go down and try the temperature first. I don't want to go out later and become a steamed person!"
Although the water will boil when it reaches 100 degrees, the water vapor may not be 100 degrees. Usually, the water vapor produced by the gas stove in our house is enough to burn the human body or steam something. I wouldn't be surprised if the water vapor evaporated from the lava lake reaches thousands of degrees. Therefore, it is purely a fool to drill into this vertical well. The safest way is to let Mira try the temperature. Generally, dragons can take a bath in the lava. Mira is a material dragon, and its ability to withstand high temperatures is much better than that of the dragon. Even if there is all the high-temperature water vapor outside, for her, it is just steaming a sauna at most.
Mira also understood that the people on our side were not resistant to heat, so she walked straight to the front and turned into a dragon and jumped into the vertical well outside.
As soon as he entered the vertical well, Mira spread his wings and glided to the opposite hole wall, in order to pass directly above the lava lake to try the temperature. After successfully landing on the opposite side, Mira immediately climbed back, then fixed herself at the hole with her claws, and stuck her head in and said to us: "No, there are at least a thousand degrees outside. One meter outside the hole, the temperature exceeds the upper limit of Ashufude's tolerance."
"What is my upper limit?" Ashufude asked.
Kris Dena explained: "Boss Zi Ri's armor can withstand high temperatures up to 10,000 degrees, and it's okay to stay in the lava for a few hours. I can element myself, as long as I turn into a fire element, this kind of opponent is equivalent to a treatment room for me, and it's even less likely to hurt me, so the only thing that's trouble now is you."
"Aren't Yeyue also afraid of high temperatures?" said Ashufude.
Ye Yue shook her head and said, "I am a descendant of Nuwa and have a high tolerance to the environment. There will be no problem with this temperature as long as it doesn't last long."
"What should I do?"
"Aren't I trying to figure out a solution?" I said and suddenly asked Kris Dena, "How is your ice scimitar?"
"Ah?" Ashufude interrupted us and said, "You don't want to freeze me and take me over?"
"I do have this plan, but I don't know how long the freezing effect can last at this temperature!"
Mira said: "It's enough to last for more than ten seconds. I can take him over and then stuff him directly into the passage opposite. As long as I fly over the past ten seconds, don't melt it."
"No, Zi Ri, don't you have a crystal bubble that can temporarily seal a target?" Kris Dena reminded: "Isn't it enough to seal Ashufude first?"
"No, no." I rejected: "The crystal bubble is too large to enter this hole. If I want to put Ashufude in, I have to get him out first and then seal it, but as soon as he goes out, he will be steamed!"
"I think it's better to be frozen." Klissidna said: "Even if there are thousands of degrees outside, it will not completely melt the ice in just ten seconds. At worst, we can just freeze it thicker."
"Is there any other way?" Ashufude asked with a sad face.
"It was originally there, but I was worried that using it would cause my magic pet to summon the ability again. If you are not afraid of failure of the mission because of this, I can make you feel comfortable."
To be continued...
