Chapter 331 Shield
"Here it comes." "It's begun." Shuer and Saff stood up almost at the same time.

The two of them did not wait for the target to emit the emerald light. That would be too dangerous. God knows what changes will happen to the environment when the emerald light is emitted. There is no room for maneuver on the edge.Therefore, the two of them returned along the original path of the tunnel and guarded the entrance and exit of the tunnel so that they could respond in time if an unexpected situation occurred.

No one turned on the light, and the tunnel was dark. The two of them sat side by side against the wall. No one spoke, and they were each thinking about their own thoughts in the darkness.

It hadn't even reached 8 minutes yet, but in the tunnel next to it, a glistening green light suddenly shone out. The light was very weak, but it was particularly obvious in the absolute darkness.

"Pah." With a slap on the same spot, Shuer grabbed Saff who was about to enter the tunnel. "You're a little impatient today."

Saff is indeed a little impatient. After all, this is related to the city where she grew up. Although there are many people in the city that she hates, there are also many people she is familiar with and cares about. Thinking that these people are in crisis, the female swordsman It's inevitable to feel a little panicked.

"Sorry, I lost my temper."

"Adjust your mentality as soon as possible, it is very dangerous." Mercenary Code No. 11, a mercenary who loses his cool will become a dead mercenary sooner or later. There may be exceptions, but don't worry, you will never be the exception. .

"oh, I understand now."

"Let's go." After stabilizing their emotions, the two of them moved forward cautiously through the green light. The green light looked weird, much like the color of soul fire, but in terms of energy perception, it was just ordinary light, even the emerald light. Not really, because the light of emerald can penetrate all obstacles and shine directly into the sky, and this kind of green light cannot even penetrate the rock walls of caves.

Returning to the cave, as soon as we walked out of the tunnel, we saw a strange scene.

The huge metal block ignores the constraints of gravity and floats and sinks dozens of centimeters above the ground. The metal shell is still dark, but the patterns nested on it begin to glow. Green light shines from the uneven fractures along the The texture on the metal surface moves upward.Soon, all the patterns were filled with faint green light, making the metal blocks floating in the air look like strange works of art.

Unexpectedly, but within reason, these lines are not that simple.Neither Shuer nor Saff had the intention to speak, and remained silent in tacit agreement.

When green finally filled the cone, and even the tip was covered in green light, the cone shook violently, and a thin green light shot upward in a cone shape until it sank into the rock above.

"Strange, so strange." When everything finally ended and the emerald light entered a continuous stage that lasted for two hours, the two of them looked at each other. From their eyes, you could see the doubts in each other's hearts.

Everything is normal, and the concentration of the surrounding destructive energy has not changed in any way, just like the appearance of the emerald light has no connection with the destructive light.

"Impossible." Xiuer frowned tightly, full of puzzlement in his heart, "Any practical weapon should not have meaningless functions, so I originally speculated that the emerald light should be a weapon against friendly forces. This kind of guidance probably means that the area covered by the light is the strike range of the light of destruction, so as to avoid repeated attacks by friendly forces."

"If this is the case, then once the emerald light locks on the target, it should be followed by the light of destruction. In other words, the concentration of the surrounding destruction energy will definitely change, but why... could it be that the weapon has failed? "

"This was also the case before." Safu guessed, "Could it be that the two are not connected? Although they are emitted by the same thing, they are essentially two functions. The function represented by the emerald light has not actually been activated yet?"

"It's possible, but it's also possible that it's because this is just a fragment, and part of the functions of the light of destruction is damaged, so it doesn't follow the emerald light and is emitted in a direction, but spreads around. Well, if you think about it carefully, it is indeed like this. Destruction The light should also be a directional strike and should never spread indiscriminately like it is now, otherwise the lives of the creatures who control these weapons will not be enough."

"Wait, Xiuer, something is wrong, something has changed." Saf suddenly exclaimed, tightly grasping Xiuer's hand, well, almost crushing his hand bones.

No wonder Safu was so surprised, because the Emerald Light had indeed changed.

The emerald light of the past shot into the sky from beginning to end, and the beam of light extended into the void.But now something has changed. It is speculated that after the green light submerged into the rock above the head for a certain distance, it suddenly spread around and turned into an arc-shaped light film that extended back, covering the area around the cone in the light film.As for whether there is any emerald light emanating from the outside, the two of them will definitely not be able to see it in the cave, but since the light has formed a light film, it should be gone.

"Is this... a shield?" Saff felt that she had been surprised more times today than in the past few years combined.

The green light film fell in front of the two people, isolating the two people from the metal cone on both sides. The light film was so thin that it could not even block the line of sight. Through the light film, you could clearly see the scene on the opposite side. It was hard to imagine. , what effect can such a thin light film have, but...

"Sure." Saff's voice was timid, "Is there something wrong with my energy perception?"

"No problem, the energy of destruction has indeed subsided significantly." Yes, since the light film appeared and isolated the two sides, the energy of destruction has become extremely thin, as if it was contained on the inside by the light film. .

"Give me the scroll."

Without waiting for Sav to do anything, Shuer directly pulled out a magic scroll of fireball from her belt and tore it open without thinking. Accompanied by the smell of burning air, a fireball half a meter in diameter appeared out of thin air. He smashed it against the light film.The location chosen by Shuer was very clever. It would not affect the metal cone body and allow the fireball to be completely absorbed by the light film.

Boom, the fireball hit the light film, just like hitting a solid object, a violent explosion occurred, and air waves rushed towards the face, blowing dust and gravel on the ground flying in all directions.The ground opposite the light film was not spared. Rubbles were also flying in random directions. However, with their dynamic strength, both of them discovered that the flames that should have spread with the explosion only spread to the two sides and were not affected at all. to the opposite side.

"Energy protection? Sasa, give me the weapon." Xiuer approached the light film and slowly brought the big sword over. As soon as he touched the light film, he felt a powerful force coming from the hilt of the sword. Fortunately, he Prepared in advance, held the hilt of the sword firmly, otherwise the great sword might be bounced away.

"I remember that the enchantment on your sword is penetration and sharpness. Well, it means that all energy will be blocked, including non-offensive energy." As he said this, Shuer brought his hammer close to the light film again. Once, the hammer passed through without any hindrance, as if the light film did not exist at all. "It is ineffective against sacred energy."

"Where's the life energy?"

"Hmm..." Xiuer thought for a while, took a deep breath, dispersed all the protective energy, tentatively walked into the light film, and easily passed through to the other side without any hindrance.As soon as he passed by, he felt the ubiquitous destructive energy again. Fortunately, he didn't take off the protective clothing foolishly, otherwise it would be troublesome.

"A very effective energy shield." Returning to the outside of the shield, Shuer said thoughtfully, "I seem to understand what's going on. It seems that we all guessed wrong before."

"Not a weapon of destruction?"

"It is not ruled out that they also have extermination weapons that use the light of destruction, but at least this one is not the one in front of me." Shuerxu pressed the light film and said, "On the contrary, this one is protective. It did not take effect before. It should be because of insufficient energy. Activation, now that it has absorbed enough energy, it can take effect normally."

"Sufficient energy refers to the light of destruction?"

"Yes, if nothing else, this weapon should be charged with the energy of the light of destruction. It was the light of destruction that visited Parvatiga not long ago, which provided it with sufficient energy, so the timing was such a coincidence. As for the destructive energy that affected the nearby area and almost destroyed the Lion City, haha." Shuer pointed to the jagged fractures, "It is already so tattered that the energy inside cannot be guaranteed to leak out, and as a result, the surrounding creatures will be unlucky. "

"The extremely pure energy we sensed before should be its energy storage part. It can store such a huge amount of energy at one time. The light of destruction in the void is really terrifying."

"However, I think the creatures that make these things are even more powerful." Saf followed Xiuer and walked on both sides of the light film several times, "Pavatiga relies on the protection of the gods to avoid the damage of the light of destruction , and they can actually use it as energy, it feels like this is beyond the realm of ordinary people."

"Maybe." Shuer frowned and thought for a while, "I'm thinking that the light of destruction will only appear coincidentally once every 2000 years. Recharging it cannot be entirely left to luck."

"Maybe their world-destroying light is very frequent?"

"That's too scary, it's like a nightmare world." Shuer curled his lips. If there really was the kind of world that Saff said, living would probably become a luxury.

"Wait, that's not right." Sapp suddenly thought of something, "Shur, didn't you say that Lady Luna has blocked the light of destruction several times in the past thousands of years? Why didn't it take effect the first few times when it was charged? Is it effective this time?”

"Because this time is the most dangerous."

"Ok?"

"Today's light of destruction is the latest one discovered by our lord, and it is also the closest to Parvatiga. The previous light of destruction, when it was still far away from Parvatiga and beyond the scope of our understanding, was It has been blocked, but this time, huh, it was just a little bit close. If it had been discovered a few minutes later, we probably wouldn’t have known what to fear."

"God, thank you Lady Luna."

"Well, praise the Lord, praise the Holy Spirit." Xiure made a circle on his chest solemnly, but his eyes were full of doubts.
