Chapter 236

After taking a short rest and speculating on several possibilities, Xia Lan took the two of them on a journey again.

After the energy reserve fell below 30%, he became more economical, and even considered taking the initiative to find a way to collect the source stones—but unfortunately, the power of the demons seemed to reject the source stones, so that the The origin stone energy has no use value.

At present, the only supplementary method is to actively use the power of the soul and transform it into source stones.

——But it must be a matter of the nick of time.

……

At 12:17 "noon", the snowfall stopped, the wind speed slowed down, and the weather cleared up.

There are still 43 kilometers away from the border mountains.

With the superhuman vision of Skadi and Ghost Shark, they discovered a group of very, very large and active demons.

"Do you want to go around?" Skadi whispered.

Obviously, their strategy of abandoning the car to protect the handsome man was very effective. Xia Lan really couldn't cut the second sword, and besides this sword, he couldn't come up with a method that could kill this specialized demon 100% in one blow.

"That's it..." Xia Lan's unreserved guess made the two look at each other, silently praying that it would be best not to be like this.

Xia Lan nodded slightly, drew up a three-dimensional map, and calculated the distance needed to avoid it - 76 kilometers.

But the demon obviously didn't really want them to leave here.

At about [-] o'clock in the evening in Victoria time, the polar circle is still bright, but compared with the previous position, the current sun altitude is a little lower. It is estimated that the crater will be out, and it will be able to get rid of the polar day area after walking for a while.

Xia Lan frowned slightly, and said with some worry: "I'm afraid that they appeared here to intercept us. The demons as a whole may have intelligence that we are not aware of."

Judging from the clothes, this inner guard is not far from the inner guards Xia Lan met with the Patriots, and should be a product of the same period.

More and more black mist spikes followed closely behind - but obviously, they couldn't get over this barrier without entities, only the merging demon in front of Xia Lan was qualified to threaten him.

"He's fine. The best thing we can do now is to get out of the demon's influence area!" Skadi said anxiously, tightly holding onto the Ghost Shark's hand, and glanced at the gathering black mist nearby.

"I'm going to Xia Lan's side first. You protect yourself. If you can, take me as far as possible. We won't die so easily. If necessary, I will forcefully bring him back." Katie nodded to the ghost shark, then closed her eyes without hesitation, and fell into her arms.

"That's right, it's always better to be safe when facing the unknown." He grinned as he spoke, and said loudly as if he was emboldened: "I'm going to launch a very powerful attack!"

According to the original route, he planned to leave the snowfield from the border between Ursas and Sami, but now he might have to pass through the snowfield from the central area of ​​Ursas, and he might encounter the defenders of Ursas at that time.

A sharp mist spike suddenly protruded from the fog wall, but it melted instantly under the boiling flames that ignited on Xia Lan's body, and when it touched the magic barrier, there was only a light tap like a snap of fingers.

Skadi, who was still a little nervous at first, heard the words, and said a little amusedly: "Based on your naming habits, it can probably be called [Entropy Increase Sword]."

"What's the name of this thing?" He suddenly whispered.

A dark golden flame that was completely different from the flames around him ignited under his eyes, which made him slightly stunned, and the arm that was about to be cut off stopped.

Crystal-like red and white dragon scales gradually grew upward from his fingertips, spreading across the back of his hand, wrist, elbow...

This kind of thing happened five or six times along the way, the number of people ranged from one to three. Although the name tags on a few people's chests were taken off, the name tags of most people were still left on their remains, so that Xia Lan felt that the pockets It got heavier and heavier.

In addition to using all his mental energy to use the highest-strength flying spells, Skadi also provided him with more efficient calculations and mental capacity.

In desperation, he cast the space distortion spell, launched Skadi and the ghost shark after distorting the space for an instant, and threw them out of the encirclement, but he stopped because of the reaction force .

"The container containing the demon shards has been damaged, and the demon shards should have been dispelled. As for this thing, you can take it with you. It might be useful in the future." Xia Lan put the name tag in her pocket and got on the sled. Greet the two to come over.

His clothes moved without wind, endless flames sprouted from his skin, and the snow around him began to disappear rapidly, leaving only the magical enchantment set up under his feet for standing.

After wondering for a moment the positions of the other meteorites, his face suddenly turned pale, and he suddenly adjusted his direction, wanting to turn around behind him—they actually formed an encircling structure, and if he didn't brake, he would really rush into the encircling circle up!

After waiting for 20 seconds, four slime-like demons gathered together, and the surrounding black fog wall also blocked 97% of the visible light, leaving Xia Lan, the world inside, free of light.

"Boom!" After Xia Lan turned around abruptly, a meteorite landed in front of them on the left, and a large amount of crushed snow and black mist scatter in all directions. These black mist entangled towards Xia Lan like tentacles.

His current explosive state is enough to temporarily push his body to 70% of the phase transformation, and use a small amount of ultimate spells in the divine power, but if he is combined with Skadi, he can achieve 80% of the normal state transformation, and use half of the relatively Simple ultimate spell.

Ghost Shark has no objection to this, but it is inevitable that he is envious of this magical power in his heart.

But meeting humans is easier than being surrounded by demons... Maybe?
Anyway, all in all, the second detour added more than 87 kilometers to Xia Lan and the others, extending the actual distance to [-] kilometers—but it was still not much. With their current travel efficiency, they could travel within seven or eight hours. Go all the way.

"Indeed." Skadi nodded slightly regretfully, looking at the snow that was constantly being flattened under the sled.

----

"Four..."

After traveling another five or six kilometers, they encountered the wreckage of an inner guard. They also did a little inspection, took off the name tag, and left.

The entangled ghost shark looked at Skadi with a firm expression, followed her for a full kilometer, and then stopped on the other side of the low crater—they escaped the border.

In this regard, Xia Lan could only grab the grips left by the two of them for convenience, cast spells with all their strength, and flew towards the periphery with a dull head.

If you try to find its weakness and grind it to death in this field that can provide it with a steady stream of power, it will definitely attract more demons during this period of time. The few demons that rushed in just now It has been printed that the faster the kill, the better.

"What's the matter?" Skadi subconsciously leaned towards Xia Lan and asked worriedly.

"Are you so smart? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have waited for that little time, and I would have acted first." He muttered, looking at the sword in his hand, it really looked a little bit different compared to the distance of a hundred meters now. Stretched.

"But that will make you lose your strength. If you fail like that, it will be even worse?" Skadi said naively in his heart.

Although she heard Skadi talk about abilities like resurrection, her keen intuition about the "unknown" told her that demons are not so "ordinary".

……

While sprinting with all his strength, he activated the "Origin Stone Transmitter" accumulated in his soul, activated his [Origin Array] related to the interaction with the Origin Stone to the maximum, and burned his control over the Origin Stone to the extreme.

But at the same time, six or seven pillars of black mist flew from behind, causing Xia Lan, who was about to slow down, to curse inwardly, overturning all previous guesses.

"That's true." Xia Lan nodded, planning to raise her sword at the huge demon that was about to take shape in front of her.

The two people who reacted in the air subconsciously looked in Xia Lan's direction, but their vision was completely covered by the black mist that filled the sky when the other three meteorites landed.

"If only you could use the power of the origin stone, Skadi." He suddenly said with emotion: "If you can also fly with me, you can drag the ghost shark together, and maybe you can catch up with the coordinated shuttle. As for the flying speed of that fog column, it will be able to run openly by then."

However, at a depth of five or six meters, a remains filled with an ominous black mist appeared in front of the three of them—the deactivated origin stone crystal pierced his life cycle support system, and the unrestrained demonic power was even worse. Drenched his bones thoroughly.

The demon that attacked him frantically attacked the barrier he had just set up, causing its luster to dim rapidly.

After throwing the two of them out, Xia Lan told Skadi to be good from the bottom of her heart, then activated the protective barrier on her clothes, quickly squeezed out the origin stone crystals, and placed defensive spells, counter spells, etc. around her.

……

And, there might be more demons on the way.

Another long two hours passed, and Ghost Shark found an area surrounded by black mist in the snow—but it was different from the previous encounter with the demon, this time the black mist was extremely thin, and Xia Lan was also trying to After getting closer, I felt a familiar breath.

After being confused for a moment, a thought suddenly rose in her heart, causing her to hastily take out the silver-white brick in her arms.

"Why do they gather here..." Ghost Shark complained.

He seemed to have just escaped from the reach of the fog column, and the power of the demon must rely on an independent individual to go beyond that range, which made him secretly relieved.

They took a detour to avoid this group of demons, but found a new batch of wandering demons two hours later—but the previous batch of demons did not approach them, which shows that their hunting range is far away Not as good as optical vision.

But after thinking about it, he still asked about Skadi's situation, and she replied that it would take 30 seconds.

"How could it be..." She murmured softly, carried Skadi up to the top of the slope, and looked at the black sphere exuding a terrifying aura in the distance.

After walking for a while, a black fog thicker than ever suddenly rushed from behind them to the sky, and immediately exploded like a water column hitting something, and the endless "ink droplets" fanned out at 45 degrees It splashed down towards the area they walked through, and several of them were about to fall around them.

"It seems to be the inner guard of Ursus." He speculated, turned the course, went straight to a snow field, and cast a spell to dig it up.

[You are here, let's start. 】

But they didn't seem to be the targets of the demons, and the pitch-black fog column didn't chase them again. Instead, they piled up all of them around Xia Lan, and merged with the black mist from the meteorite to form a huge sphere.

……

After laughing, after being surrounded for a whole minute, Xia Lan raised the sword in his hand, and huge flames spewed out from his whole body, and the red and white streamers that overflowed rapidly rushed from the sword body to the sky, shattering the black The dome made of fog pierced in an instant, and the sun shone from the breach.

The 30-meter-tall demon that gradually took shape seemed to realize that something was wrong, and the speed of its body squirming accelerated a bit, and even the cage made of black mist began to surge, gradually becoming thicker and thicker. Thick - like water about to boil.

There are still 5 kilometers away from the boundary of the crater, which is almost a close distance for Xia Lan. Even if she flies with Skadi and the ghost shark at full strength, it only takes four to five minutes to pass through the crater. Pass.

"I don't know." Xia Lan spread her hands, took off a broken crystal device from the opponent's chest, looked it up and down twice, then put it back, and took off a metal nameplate from the opponent's chest.

Looking around at these slime-like demons, Xia Lan was slightly taken aback, and several conjectures popped up in her heart, but she finally confirmed one thing after a few seconds of observation—these group of things seemed to have a tendency to merge with each other , God knows what will come out of fusion.

【—Well, let's tear it up together. 】

(In fact, shouting can stabilize the mind, clarify the target of the attack, and obtain the occult bonus buff)

They didn't seem to plan to attack him immediately.

The flame fluctuated, breathed, and circled, creating ripples in the air.

The sunny day was like a blessing to them, but for the sake of safety, Xia Lan decided to turn the road again.

[This is... a dream? 】

There was no sadness or pity on his face, he just thought about "using" after a few seconds of regret.

Since you can't escape, let's fight, the two of them are unarmed, staying here is also a hindrance.

In just three seconds, the faint fire light spread into a sword-shaped beam of fire, and the snow around Xia Lan that was too late to melt was directly sublimated by this "high temperature" that was not scorching hot, and was immediately surrounded by the surrounding black people. Fog condenses.

"Huh~" He suddenly let out a breath, and the flame beam in his hand was extinguished, revealing the dragon scale long sword engraved with infinite and complicated runes under it - it was made of solid flames, but it was like crystal It shone brightly, and the veins in it flowed and pulsated like living things.

At the same time, the black fog meteorites falling from the sky seemed to have noticed their movement, drawing a dark arc in the sky, turning around and flying towards Xia Lan and the three of them.

"Xia Lan?!" Ghost Shark called out subconsciously, but when he was in a daze, he was dragged away by Skadi who had adjusted his posture, and couldn't help feeling even worse.

Thinking this way, he dug out Nian's spell information and rummaged through it -- but even if he could read it, it would still take some time to understand it.

Xia Lan, who had decided what spell to use to deal with the demon in front of her, raised her hands, as if holding a sword in both hands, loosely but in an instant, she melted her whole body into her hands - a faint flame was bred here .

The black mist in the four meteorites gradually gathered and turned into a long strip space about 200 meters long, which was connected with the fog column from the center of the crater behind him, and their bodies gradually stretched out. .

"..." Ghost Shark reacted, and ran away with her without saying a word.

But at this moment, several huge distorted black shadows rushed into the black mist, one of them hit Xia Lan, two of them stood between Xia Lan and the giant demon, and the other dragged It went further away, and it looked like it was going to divide the battlefield and let Xia Lan's attack fall through.

He secretly sighed, watching them getting closer, thinking that the inner guards didn't have any super fast speed, how could this group of b bastards directly break through the speed of sound.

"Why did he die here alone?" Skadi asked softly.

——Chaotic thoughts flashed through the consciousness of Xia Lan and Skadi who were burning madly to the limit.

"Crack~"

Before he had time to step into it, a crisp slap sounded in his mind, but in reality, he subconsciously cut off the sword in his hand as if he had been slapped on the shoulder.

And the flame in his eyes dissipated instantly as if a dream had been extinguished, as if it had never existed.

 Feeling a bit rushed by planetary engines?
