Chapter 316 Encounter (Two chapters in one)

As for Ryan, he frowned when he saw that the other team members were already twenty meters away from him and were still moving away from him quickly.

Because in the darkness of the underground hall farther away, Ryan could see some vague, non-human figures.

Obviously, in a little while, his teammates would be completely separated.

At that time, the enemies behind will suddenly attack.

Moreover, it is very likely that these enemies will appear to be friendly forces in the eyes of the team members whose senses have been distorted.

In other words, the current situation of his team members is extremely worrying.

Of course, it’s not that Ryan’s speed is not fast enough, but the players are in a state of fighting and retreating, and their nerves are highly nervous.

Ryan was sure that once he got close, he would be affected by this strange voice again and distorted into a monster in the minds of his teammates.

In this case, even if he could save one or two people, he might not be able to save all of them, and this was not the result he wanted.

"At this distance, even the intermediate-level 'Roaring War Cry' wouldn't be powerful enough to reach us!"

"The main problem is that this enemy hiding in the dark is a bit troublesome." Ryan thought quickly.

Soon, that strange singing sounded again!

Ryan only felt a flash before his eyes, and that extremely special illusion effect appeared again.

Fortunately, he was holding Anna's hand at this time.

Anna is still Anna.

However, Ryan knew very well that if he couldn't come up with a solution quickly, it would be too late.

'Since the opponent is using sound waves, perhaps I can also break the opponent's strange singing voice by enhancing the mysteries of sound waves!'

Ryan made up his mind and quickly glanced at the upgrade conditions of "Roaring War Cry" on the panel:
"To upgrade Roaring War Shout to a high-level secret, the following conditions must be met: 14. Fire Dragon Breathing Technique lv16 or above (original Giant Bear Breathing Technique lv35 or above); 3. Physical Fitness points or above; . Consume gold skill points."

Ryan hasn't upgraded his sonic skill, 'Roaring War Cry', for a long time.

He had already met conditions one and two, and now he only needed to consume 3 gold skill points to upgrade again. Naturally, Ryan had no hesitation about this.

In an instant, as the points were added, a torrent of training memories about the sonic secret technique 'Roaring War Cry' flooded into Ryan's mind!
It was as if Ryan had been alone in some mysterious space, concentrating on practicing the sonic secret of 'Roaring War Cry' for more than ten years.

The system prompt appears immediately:

[Congratulations, with the blessing of bloodline power, you have comprehended the advanced secret of special sound waves: Dragon Roar! ]

"Dragon roar!?"

"Bloodline blessing?!"

Ryan was stunned at first, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth!
On the Weapon Master (Legend) panel, the sonic skill 'Roaring War Cry' was now changed to 'Dragon Roar!'

At the same time, the icon of the advanced secret skill "Dragon Roar" is also quite different from the previous intermediate secret skill "Roaring War Cry".

The practitioner of the secret in the icon has changed from a sturdy man into a slightly smaller black dragon, who is also roaring with his mouth wide open. The dense arc lines roaring out of his mouth look like a real shock wave!
The small text at the bottom right of the icon has also changed:
Dragon Roar (Advanced Secret) Effect: Combining one's own special dragon bloodline, using a special method of combining the Force with vocal cords, roaring out a sonic attack with a weaker dragon power, which has a certain deterrent effect.

(Note: The power of the dragon roar decreases as the distance increases, and is proportional to the concentration of the dragon bloodline and physical fitness of the person.)
(Note: To upgrade Dragon Roar to the top level, the following conditions must be met: 16. Blood concentration is improved; 42. Fire Dragon Breathing Technique is above level 40; 45. Strength is 4 points, Agility is points, and Constitution is above points; . Consume gold skill points.)
Ryan, who was confident, patted Anna on the shoulder and said, "Cover your ears."

"Hmm!" Anna quickly covered her ears. Ryan's roar just now almost tore her eardrums, and it still hurts a little now.

In fact, Anna didn't know that Ryan didn't really use the secret of the battle cry just now. Compared with the power when he used his full strength, it was only about one-third.

Ryan dodged and the next moment, he appeared in the center of the hall.

After putting some distance between himself and Anna, Ryan took a deep breath.

The air around him seemed to be swallowed by a whale, and Ryan's chest suddenly expanded, as if at this moment, there was a steam locomotive hidden in his chest that was clanging at full speed, and the wide-open mouth was the whistle that was about to roar.

As Ryan's neck swelled up like an angry cobra, a huge stream of air in his chest suddenly gushed out!

"hold head high!!!"

An extremely loud roar, which did not seem to be something a human could make, echoed throughout the hall!
In addition to the violent white air waves, there was also a strong sense of deterrence in the roar.

The powerful sound waves released by Ryan's advanced ultimate skill, 'Dragon Roar', echoed repeatedly throughout the underground hall.

The strange singing voice thus disappeared without a trace.

In an instant, the four team members who were more than 20 to 30 meters away all had clear eyes.

Then, several people looked at their positions with confusion, as if wondering how they got to this position?
What just happened?
But the next second, they looked at the area several meters away in astonishment.

A few meters away, there were many monsters with ugly dragon faces holding tridents, also standing there with shocked expressions on their faces. These guys were the male Blood Curse Nagas.

It turned out that the group of guys who had been hiding in the dark saw that the time was ripe, so they came out and planned to besiege a few people.

But the male Blood Curse Naga could never have imagined that the human in the center of the hall could actually make such a huge roar, so powerful that it directly broke the Siren's song and tore apart the created illusion!

Moreover, the hint of shock contained in the roar made them a little dazed for a moment.

When they came to their senses, they already knew that the ambush plan had failed, and these male Blood Curse Nagas immediately turned around and fled towards the darkness around them.

And on the top of the hall that Ryan could not see, there was an inward-concave horizontal groove, inside which were three monsters with human faces and eagle bodies, looking at each other in surprise. They had also been frightened just now.

"Just now I felt a hint of dragon power (Siren language)"

"what about you?"

"I feel it too!"

"Is this a dragonborn coming?"

The Sirens suddenly dared not say a word anymore.

In the underground hall.

"Slow down!" Ne'oro quickly tore open a scroll of slow down and slowed down the fleeing male blood-cursed naga in front of him.

Ryan's eyes lit up, and he would certainly not miss this good opportunity. The hardened refined gold in his hand instantly turned into a javelin.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of black lightning flashed across the sky, blood splattered everywhere, and a male Blood Curse Naga was hit by a bullet, with its entire body nailed to the hard wall of the underground hall.

Since the spear was aimed at the head, the male Blood Curse Naga died instantly, but its strong vitality still caused its whole body to twitch continuously.

"It is indeed the Ancient Blood Curse Naga!"

"It seems that the disappearance of the previous two teams was probably caused by them." Neoro quickly came to the dead male Blood Curse Naga and said angrily.

Is this the Ancient Blood Curse Naga?

Vieri and a few others were on guard and looked over curiously from time to time.

"Captain, I think I may know what that singing just now was about?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this song should come from an ancient sea monster called Siren. It is said that their songs have strange magical powers that can make people lose themselves in a fantasy world."

Neoro said seriously.

"Siren? Are you talking about the monster with a human head and an eagle body? But weren't these monsters said to have become extinct thousands of years ago?" Evelyn, who was also studying wizardry, seemed to have heard of this kind of monster and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Yes, there is indeed such a rumor, so I can't be 100% sure, it's just a guess." Neoro nodded.

“But judging from the effect, it is almost exactly the same as the description of the sirens’ song in ancient books,” Neoro added.

Evelin nodded with a thoughtful look on her face, and said, "Now that you remind me, this sound is indeed very similar to the sound of the sirens described in ancient books."

"In ancient sailing diaries, there are often stories of entire ships running aground or sinking. Many of these were caused by the Sirens, who used their strange singing to confuse the minds of the captains and sailors."

“I don’t know where these blood-cursed Nagas found the sirens from.”

"Well, but I didn't expect the captain to be able to break the Siren's song. Then there is nothing to be afraid of in the next battle." Just as Neoro's voice fell.

Ryan suddenly turned his head and looked at the passage leading to the forbidden door.

Upon seeing this, everyone looked up and saw a monster whose size far exceeded that of an ordinary male Blood Curse Naga rushing out in a serpentine manner, with a strong aura emanating from it.

Behind him were two teams of more than twenty male Blood Curse Nagas following closely.

"Rulgatz the Tidepiercer!" Ryan said with a serious expression.

Hearing the name, everyone was shocked, and looking at the other party's iconic pointed-tailed conch arms, they understood what was going on.

This is the equivalent of the human title of Knight, the Blood Cursed Naga title of Strong One, and the guy that Captain Ryan mentioned!

The other party's only remaining eye was fixed on Ryan.

"Captain, you don't need to pay too much attention to us. Without the interference of the Siren's song, we can resist these blood-cursed Nagas." Angus raised his shield and said quickly.

He knew that in a battle at Ryan's level, being distracted would never be a good thing.

As team members, they can get injured and bleed, but they must never become a burden.

"Well, be careful." Ryan walked slowly towards the other party.

Seeing Ryan coming over, those ordinary male Blood Curse Nagas dispersed one after another. Whether out of fear or respect for the strong, they formed a semicircle around the venue.

"Human, you are so brave that you dare to come back. Then go to hell!" The Tide Piercer Rulgatz was furious from the moment he saw Ryan.

"call!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the white pointed conch in Rulgatz's left hand whistled violently and struck Ryan. Facing the extremely swift stab, the hardened fine gold in Ryan's hand had already quickly transformed into a lance, and he attacked Rulgatz!
Sparks instantly burst out from the tip of the lance and the top of the pointed-tailed conch.

"Ding!"

Almost at the same time, extremely harsh collision sounds echoed all around.

Both the two teams of male Blood Curse Nagas and the members of Ryan's team were frowning at this moment.

After the two men on the field fought, they quickly separated. Ryan retreated two steps more, while Rulgatz, who was over three meters tall, leaned his upper body back slightly, looking like a evenly matched opponent.

However, the next second, Ryan tapped his toes, the stone ground shattered, and he took the initiative to attack.

In an instant, three figures with different postures appeared on the field, and they attacked Rulgatz from the left, middle and right, waving their guns.

It was the attack launched by Ryan using the intermediate secret technique 'Shadow Step' in his lance.

Although the number of phantoms did not reach the four when using a dagger, even two phantoms greatly increased the power of Ryan's lance attack.

This scene made Rulgatz slightly stunned. Obviously, this was the first time he encountered such a situation, although he quickly came to his senses.

But in the duel between masters, this sudden pause allowed Ryan to seize the initiative.

Ryan's lance suddenly pierced out from the left and attacked Rulgatz.

Unable to dodge in time, Rulgatz could only hold up the white pointed-tail conch like a shield and block quickly.

"clang!"

At the moment of the collision, Ryan used the rebound force of the collision to stab out dozens of shots in succession. The speed was so fast that it seemed as if Ryan was holding dozens of lances at the same time and stabbed towards Rulgatz together.

Suddenly, the intensive sound of clang clang clang was heard continuously!
At the same moment, a streak of sparks burst out from the white pointed-tail conch of Rulgatz, forcing the huge Rulgatz to retreat step by step!

This made Rulgatz even angrier. Only then did he realize that the human, whom he thought he could capture easily, had actually increased in strength so drastically.

"Tidal impact!"

Following a low roar, a circle of blue ripples burst out from Rulgatz's strong body.

Ryan was instantly pushed several meters away by the powerful water energy.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to create distance, Rulgatz quickly gathered strength, and his white pointed-tail conch immediately condensed into three light blue water whirlpools.

It was Rulgats's signature killer move - 'Sea Tide Piercing!'

Seeing this scene, Ryan narrowed his eyes, and the lance in his hand began to deform rapidly. A dark two-handed war hammer instantly appeared in his hand.

Just now, he used his lance to fight with Rulgatz, which made Ryan have a clearer understanding and positioning of his own strength level.

At the same time, it also gave him a deeper understanding of the profession of Weapon Master.

It’s just that the opponent used a trump card this time, so Ryan had to use a trump card to respond!
Ryan was heard reciting the spell silently, and then he suddenly jumped up!

In mid-air, Ryan raised the hammer high with both hands, and his whole body was like a bow that was pulled to its full length, and he swung the hammer fiercely at Rulgatz!

Seeing this scene, Rulgatz's one eye showed a sneer!
He remembered clearly that the last time his opponent fought him head-on like this, his two-handed war hammer was shattered by one blow!
This human in front of him actually planned to use the same trick to fight him this time. How stupid!
Between lightning and flint!

Ryan's two-handed warhammer and Rulgatz's pointed-tailed conch collided with each other.

"clang!!!"

But as soon as it came into contact, Rulgatz's expression suddenly changed. His white spiral tip was actually shattered into powder, and he felt a sharp pain in the palm of his left arm.

But Ryan's hammer also shattered at the same time, which made Rulgatz feel relieved!
However, what was strange was that most of the hardened platinum fragments that exploded at high speed floated in front of Ryan, and then re-condensed and quickly turned into a new two-handed warhammer.

This scene stunned Rulgatz.

Metal witchcraft?
"Bang!!"

Ryan held the hammer in both hands and launched an attack again!

Because Rulgatz's weapon, the sharp-tailed conch, was damaged, he was immediately left with more defense than defense.

Ryan seized the opportunity and used his ultimate skill 'Shadow Step' in succession. After using the afterimage to attract Rulgatz's attention, he suddenly charged up his strength and launched a 'Hammer of Annihilation'!
Caught off guard, Rulgatz had no choice but to raise his pointed-tail conch again to block!
"Crack!"

This time, the sharp-tailed conch broke at the elbow, and Rulgatz groaned for the first time with a look of pain on his face.

I saw that his left elbow was bent in a reverse joint, obviously broken.

But Ryan's attack was far from over. After adding a little strength to restore his physical strength like lightning, he continuously used the Hammer of Annihilation!

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly, Rulgatz's waist, abdomen, chest, shoulders and other parts exploded one after another, and penetrating wounds as big as washbasins appeared on Rulgatz's huge body.

This series of top-level secrets immediately left Rulgatz without any chance of fighting back.

The next second, Ryan took a step forward and jumped high!

"Oh!"

The dark two-handed war hammer drew a bright black semicircular arc in the air and directly hit Rulgatz's ugly dragon face!
A small hole was immediately created on his forehead, but the powerful impact caused the entire back of his head to explode, with red and white jelly-like substances scattering all over the floor.

Rulgatz's huge body shook, and then he fell backwards slowly and unwillingly!

Then, a huge transparent naga shadow emerged from Rulgatz's dead body, dragging a long tail of flame. It circled around Ryan several times and then sank into the hammer head.

Seeing this scene, the two teams of male Blood Curse Nagas were immediately terrified. They lost all their will to fight and turned around to flee!
But if they wanted to escape now, it depended on whether Ryan agreed.

The two-handed warhammer in Ryan's hand instantly transformed into a two-handed greatsword again. At the same time, small four-cornered darts protruded from the surface of the broad blade of the greatsword.

As Ryan quickly turned around and swung his weapon, a large number of black square-cornered darts were shot densely at the fleeing male Blood Curse Nagas in all directions.

For a moment, screams were heard one after another!
Ryan walked forward slowly but actually quickly, and the weapon in his hand changed from a two-handed sword to a war hammer again.

"Crack! Crack!"

As the sound of skulls being crushed rang out, one soul shadow after another was pulled out. After circling around Ryan for several circles, they rushed into the war hammer.

Ryan counted silently and found that he had killed eleven of them with his hammer, while the rest were killed by Neoro and others.

The ten soul energies required to release the "Soul Shattering Impact" have been gathered.

It’s not that Ryan knew the danger in advance, but it was a rare opportunity to collect soul energy, so Ryan naturally wouldn’t miss it.

After all, it is not so easy to find an enemy with more than ten official knights in another place.

"The ability to switch between various secrets easily, is this even common?"

Through the battle with Rulgats just now, Ryan had a vague understanding of the epic profession of 'King of Thousand Blades'.

"Captain, look!"

At this time, Neolo and his men who were chasing the male Blood Curse Naga ran ahead of him. At this moment, more than ten meters in front of them, there was a blue water film blocking their way.

"It's a water film barrier that can block external interference, including sound, light, and energy fluctuations. There must be some secret inside!"

"I can solve it!" As a scroll master, Neoro could tell the type of barrier at a glance.

At this moment, the Blood Curse Naga High Priestess Selinis inside the Forbidden Gate suddenly looked up at the underground hall where Ryan was.

Just now, she felt that the soul fire that belonged only to Rulgatz suddenly went out!
"How is this possible! Rulgats is dead?"

"Dragun Empire sent out Imperial Guardians?"

"It shouldn't be. But who could it be?"

After a moment's thought, Celinis decided to give up hosting the ceremony for the time being and walked towards the blue water film instead.

Suddenly, the blue water film disappeared abruptly, and a group of humans collided with her head on.

On the other hand, this is the perspective of Ryan and his group.

After they removed the blue water film's obstruction, they saw a beautiful female six-armed naga, holding a short staff, coming towards them.

So, the encounter happened unexpectedly!

"Get out of the way!" Ryan's pupils shrank and he yelled!
He immediately performed the Shadow Step, transformed into five shadows, and attacked the opponent.

However, this time the weapon that transformed in his hand was no longer a lance, but the two-handed warhammer that he was most proficient in. At the same time, he released a superimposed attack of the top-level ultimate skill 'Hammer of Annihilation' and 'Soul Shattering Shock'!

The opponent's momentum was hidden, but Ryan could feel the terror hidden in his not-so-tall body!
This is the only strong man he has ever seen!
It is almost as good as His Royal Highness Menia.

So, whenever he strikes out, he uses all his strength!
Under the interference of the four phantoms, Ryan's real body swung the hammer at lightning speed from the side and back of Celinice.

Celinis was stunned for a moment at first, then she smiled and waved the short staff in her hand. Suddenly, three defensive witchcraft lights appeared on her body and flashed by.

But as soon as she touched it, her pretty face showed horror!

"what!!!"

Only two of the three defensive spells were shattered, but Selinis held her head and screamed in pain, but her counterattack was also extremely swift.

I saw one of the three pairs of arms aimed at Ryan and struck him like lightning!
"Bang!!!"

Even though Ryan had a 'metal barrier' surrounding a hardened platinum shield on his body, he was still like being hit by a cannonball, and he flew backwards!
As Ryan drew a parabola in the air, he slammed heavily onto the huge skeleton behind him and bounced to the bottom of the skeleton on the side.

Ryan only felt a 'crack' sound coming from under him!
Then, his entire body was immersed in a large amount of sticky liquid with a peculiar fishy smell.

Suddenly, a system prompt sounded.
